Machenike has launched the G5 Pro V3, a multi platform wireless controller featuring adjustable resistance TMR joysticks and dual mode mechanical triggers. The gamepad adds 6 programmable macro buttons, a 360 degree D pad, and an optional 4 motor vibration configuration. Presales are now open in China with a starting promotional price of 199 yuan ($28 USD), while global availability has not been announced.
The G5 Pro V3 uses floating TMR joysticks built with a borderless support ring to reduce friction along the outer rim. Players can adjust stick resistance physically, switching between light damping for fast turns and heavy damping for steady aim. The triggers feature a hardware switch to toggle between instant actuation microswitches for competitive shooters and linear Hall effect travel for racing titles.
The front face uses generation 3 low force microswitch buttons alongside an omnidirectional floating D pad. The bundle edition includes an H bridge 4 motor vibration layout consisting of 2 asymmetric grip motors and 2 trigger motors, with vibration strength adjustable across 5 levels. For remapping, the controller provides 2 extra shoulder buttons and 4 rear paddles, giving players 6 mappable inputs for custom combos, quick reloads, and macros.
The controller connects across 3 modes including wired USB, Bluetooth, and 2.4G wireless. Supported platforms include PC, Switch 2, Android, iOS, smart TVs, and vehicle infotainment systems. A 1200 mAh internal battery provides up to 7 days of regular gameplay on 1 charge. The translucent black base model carries an introductory presale price of 199 yuan ($28 USD) against a standard list price of 299 yuan ($42 USD). The starlight gold bundle edition lists for 349 yuan ($49 USD) and is currently discounted to 269 yuan ($38 USD) during the presale window.
